The send-off outside the north gate of Chengdu is once again lively.

The long procession came from afar, countless flags fluttered in the wind, and the majestic military music seemed to hit everyone's heart, making people feel an inexplicable sense of security, and at the same time feeling blood boiling, as if the fierce battle was not far away, and was calling for their participation.

At the forefront was a group of knights, who sat solemnly on their horses, holding the reins of their horses in their left hands and their halberds in their right hands, which rested against the stirrups, and their shiny halberds facing the sky, reflecting a terrifying cold light in the midsummer sun. The long halberd belt fluttered in the wind, like a charming maiden dancing around a triumphant hero.

The Bashu horses, especially the lack of majestic war horses, the war horses under the crotches of these knights were the trophies taken from the Wei army. As soon as these war horses appeared in front of the people of Chengdu who were watching the excitement, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Guan Xing and Zhang Shao, who were walking in the knight array, also had a lot of light, and when they walked past the audience, they all waved to the audience on both sides. They are all in their early twenties, less than thirty years old, they don't look bad, plus they have titles, they have long been the goal of choosing a mate in the hearts of many girls in Chengdu.

"Guan Junhou, welcome to the triumphant ......"

"Zhang Junhou, you are more majestic than the old Junhou......"

Guan Xing and Zhang Shao listened, couldn't hold back their smugness, squeezed each other's eyes, and straightened their waists.

The mighty knights were followed by a squad of foot soldiers. The foot soldiers were heavily armed and looked fierce. The steps are neat and powerful, as if they are not triumphant, but majestic, and they will go to the battlefield with great vigour, and no matter how strong the enemy is, they will be defeated and flattened. Although they were not as imposing as the knights, they were more numerous and imposing, which also caused bursts of cheers.

Feng Jin and Zhang Wei, who were riding war horses and walking in the array, enjoyed the adoring eyes of the people. The heart is beautiful. However, the envy of the knight in front of him is still overflowing.

"Well, it would be nice to take the waterway." Zhang Wei sighed: "As long as our sailor's building ship appears, what kind of cavalry is it, it is all ants." Nothing. Now. I have to watch them sass. ”

Feng Jin was also happy. His mood was much calmer, and he glanced at Zhang Wei: "Okay, you still have a chance to meet him." Zhong Jian stayed in Hanzhong, and he didn't even have a chance to be welcomed by others, so what should he do? ”

Thinking of Fu Xing, who stayed in Hanzhong, Zhang Wei's mood immediately balanced, and he nodded again and again with a smile: "When I go back to the city later, I have to go to his house to report a message first, so that his aunt will be happy and happy, now Zhong Jian is stronger than his brother." ”

"Well, of course." Feng Jin said with a smile: "Not only Zhong Jian, but we are no exception, this time thanks to Ziyu, otherwise, how could we have a bright future." ”

As soon as Wei Ba was mentioned, Zhang Wei immediately thought about it, and couldn't help but wonder: "Yes, we've been gone for so long, why haven't we seen Ziyu?" Did you just see that? ”

Feng Jin's eyes tightened slightly, and he shook his head. When he passed by Guanqian just now, he saw many civil and military ministers in the court, and also saw the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw Ma Yan, but he didn't see Wei Ba, and he was already a little uneasy in his heart. It's just that he was worried that Zhang Wei had a hot temper, for fear that he would ruin the scene, so he didn't express his worries.

The team marched slowly, and the people in front of the audience finally waited for the protagonist this time: the rebellious general Wu Yi. Wu Yi was the elder brother of the Empress Dowager, and was faintly one of the representatives of the existing Shili in Yizhou before Liu Bei entered Shu. This time he has made a great contribution, and the reward is naturally needless to say, and his reputation has also soared. For many officials and ordinary people who don't know the specific situation, they don't have the opportunity to know how many people participated in the Battle of Xiangyang, they only know that it was General Wu Yi Wu who led the army this time, and if they won the battle, it was naturally General Wu's credit.

At this moment, General Wu, who won more with less and defeated the strong with the weak, came to them, how could they spare their praise and cheers?

"Long live the general......"

"The General ...... Mighty"

Amid the overwhelming cheers, Wu Yi, who was dressed up, got out of the car with a smile on his face and frequently bowed his hands to the civil and military officials who came up. Although the official position is not very high, Xu Jing, who is very old, walked in the front, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was a welcome speech quoting scriptures, which made Wu Yi smile when he heard it.

Wu Yi and them were noisy one by one, and when most of them had talked, Wu Yi asked Ma Jian in some surprise: "Youchang, where is Ziyu?" What is this little vertical busy with, and he didn't come to pick me up? ”

Ma Jian was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't say it directly, so he had to smirk and say, "General, Ziyu is indeed a little busy. However, he did not have the slightest slack heart for the general, and after returning to Chengdu, in addition to seeing Bixia, the first thing he did was to go to your mansion to report safety. ”

"Oh." Wu Yi sensed that something was wrong from Ma Yan's words, and did not ask any more. Although he admired Wei Ba, he had no intention of causing a dispute for Wei Ba on such an occasion.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yi wanted to calm things down, but some people didn't want to. After the general Liu Yan squeezed out of the crowd, he said with a smile: "Doesn't the general know? Wei Ba Wei Ziyu has now been ordered to think about it behind closed doors. ”

Wu Yi was taken aback: "Have you thought about it behind closed doors? Why, he has only been in Chengdu for a few days, why did he commit it? ”

Ma Tan snorted unhappily: "General Hou, General Wu has a long journey, let's go back to the city and talk about these words." ”

Liu Yan shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything more. Ma Yan is the prime minister's long history, and now he is the most powerful person in the Prime Minister's Mansion except Zhuge Liang, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ma Tan may become Zhuge Liang's successor, how dare Liu Yan go against him. The sentence just now is enough, and it is unwise to offend Ma Jian for the sake of temporary happiness.

Liu Yan is afraid of Ma Yan, which does not mean that others are afraid. Xu Jing immediately picked up the conversation, and haha smiled: "General Wu, Wei Ba's mistake was not made in Chengdu. He went to Chengdu for a few days, except for going to your house to report his safety, he went to the prime minister's mansion for a meal, and then he thought about it behind closed doors. According to the old man's thoughts, he may not have time to make a mistake in such a short time, and this mistake may still be made by the general's subordinates. Why, doesn't the general know at all? ”

Wu Yi pondered for a moment, a little embarrassed. He vaguely guessed something from Xu Jing's words, but at this moment, what should he say? Facing Xu Jing's smug eyes and everyone's expectant eyes, he had no choice but to turn to Ma Jian and say, "Youchang, where do you start with this?" Wei Ba came to Chengdu with you to report his merits, and he was ranked first in the military merit book, why did he suddenly make a mistake again? ”

As soon as Wu Yi said this, the crowd suddenly "buzzed" and there was a lot of discussion. Many people know about the victory in Xiangyang, and the personnel who participated in the war this time must be promoted, like Ma Yan, who arrived earlier, is already the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Many people's understanding of Wei Ba was limited to this rising star, and he was highly valued by the prime minister, but many people didn't know whether he had credit or not, and how much credit he had, so after arriving in Chengdu, Ma Jian was promoted, Wei Ba did not move, and many people were not surprised. Now I heard Wu Yi say that Wei Ba's military merits were the first in the Battle of Xiangyang, and even he himself had to fall behind Wei Ba, let alone Ma Yan?

Then this matter is strange, when he went to Chengdu together, Ma Jian was promoted, and why did Wei Ba, who was the first in military merit, think about it behind closed doors? Could it be that he is really a troublemaker, and it was wrong to arrive in Chengdu?

Ma Jian was very depressed, Wu Yi's words were too vicious. Anyone who knows the inside story knows that Wei Ba's matter will inevitably cause a turmoil, and the person who bears this responsibility is either Wu Yi, the supreme commander of the Battle of Xiangyang, or the Prime Minister's Mansion who is responsible for rewarding military merits. Now Wu Yi said in front of everyone that Wei Ba was the first in the military merit book, so he took his responsibility cleanly, and he looked high-spirited. You see, I listed Wei Ba in front of myself, but I didn't swallow his military exploits, and as for whether he can get the reward he deserves for this, that's the matter of your Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ma Jian was very embarrassed, so he had to say a few perfunctory words and pull Wu Yi into the view to talk in detail. Wu Yi didn't want to stand like this in front of everyone anymore, and the reason why he said this was also out of helplessness. Xu Jing had already said just now that Wei Ba respected him very much, and he would report to his house as soon as he returned to Chengdu, so he couldn't treat Wei Ba badly. Otherwise, those who know Wei Ba's exploits will definitely think that he embezzled Wei Ba's exploits, and who else will be willing to die for him in the future?

He was unwilling to stand up for Wei Ba, but in order to prove his innocence, he could only push the Prime Minister's Mansion to the forefront. Ma Jian hates Xu Jing and Liu Yan, in fact, he hates these two talkative guys even more. At this point, he had no choice but to protect himself first.

No matter how Wu Yi and Ma Jian discussed, the news still spread like the wind, and through the mouths of these officials who knew little about the situation, it reached the ears of more people.

Xiahou Xuan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, stood in the distance, quietly watching all this, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. It's just that when his eyes saw a group of captives coming over, especially the tall Wang Shuang, his mood suddenly became bad.

This time the Shu army mainly fought with the Wei army, and the prisoners were naturally mainly the Wei army, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Hu Zhen was killed in battle, and the two generals under Sima Yi were captured, and the losses of the Wei army were heavy. And for himself, his sister was snatched away by Wei Ba, and now even the identity of a wife has become out of reach, whether it is for the happiness of his sister or for the interests of Wei State, he must do everything he can to make this matter bigger. If you can make Zhuge Liang stink and mess up Shu, then of course it would be great.

Of course, the most practical thing in front of him is to let his sister Xiahou Hui gain a firm foothold in the Wei family first, and his goal is to fall on these Wei prisoners. (To be continued......)
